Yoania picked us up at the viazul station, which we appreciated. The room was comfortable and clean, the air conditioning worked well. There is a terrasse on the roof with a nice view over the landscape. The breakfast was good. The casa is located a 5 to 10 minutes walk from the center. We had a funny evening painting with the kids. The 8year old son asked for presents, unfortunately we didn‘t have any with us.

We really enjoyed our stay with Yoania and her family. She is an excellent, warm and friendly host. Though basic, everything was really clean and comfortable (especially the bed) in a quiet part of town about 10 minutes walk from the centre. As well as having our own private bedroom and bathroom we were welcomed to sit on the front terrace or go on the roof terrace to admire the views. Yoania provided really good dinners for us on two nights which were great value compared to prices in town as she includes mains, sides and dessert plus a drink. Good breakfasts too. If you want to get a feel for life in an ordinary Cuban family, this will give you that. We met Yoania's mother and her two lovely children and enjoyed talking with all the family. It would be beneficial to have at least some basic Spanish, as none of the family speak English. And not to forget that Yoania makes a great mojito!! Thanks Yoania.

We had a great time with Yoania and her family in Viñales. She came to pick us up from the bus station and when we arrived at her house she already had a fresh juice ready for us. She made us feel at home right away and we really enjoyed the conversations we had with Yoania, her kids and her mother. The room and adjacent bathroom are both very clean and the house is located a little outside the centre of Viñales in a quiet neighbourhood. If needed, it is possible to have your laundry done and Yoania also helped us arrange a horseback riding tour and transport to Cienfuegos. Besides, Yoania is a great cook who not only prepared a really nice breakfast for us every morning (4cuc) but also cooked for us during the days that we were there. Probably the best meals we had during our 3 weeks in Cuba :) If we visit Cuba again we will definitely go back!

Staying at Yoania's place was really nice, she was super friendly and so were her children! She gave us a discount on breakfast (4 CUC instead of 5) because we booked from this website!
Thank you again Yoania!September 2017
Me alojé 2 noches en la casa de Yoania y fue un verdadero placer haber estado con esta familia. La familia de Yoania es realmente muy agradable y te hace sentir cómodo como si fueras parte de la familia. José el marido habla inglés y puede ayudar si hay dificultad en la comprensión. Yoania hizo todo durante mi estancia así que todo fue lo más suavemente posible. Ella me ayudó a organizar excursiones, preparó platos deliciosos o simplemente discutido. Agradezco a esta cálida familia por esta maravillosa estancia en Vinales. Besos para vosotros ! Un abrazo muy fuerte !

Je suis restée 2 nuits dans la maison de Yoania et ce fût un réel plaisir d'avoir séjourner chez cette famille. La famille de Yoania est vraiment très gentille et te fait sentir à l'aise comme si tu faisais partie toi aussi de la famille. José le mari parle anglais et peut aider s'il y a difficulté de compréhension. Yoania a tout fait lors de mon séjour pour que tout se passe le mieux possible. Elle m'a aidé à organiser les excursions, préparé des plats délicieux ou juste discuté. Je remercie cette chaleureuse famille pour ce formidable séjour à Vinales. Bisous à vous ! Et à bientôt j'espère !September 2017
¡Nuestra estancia en casa de Yoania y su familia fue sin duda la mejor que tuvimos en todo nuestro viaje por Cuba! No sólo la habitación estaba impecable y decorada con muy buen gusto además de tener su baño privado en perfectas condiciones; sino que toda la familia fue un encanto durante los tres días que estuvimos allí. Nos recibieron con los brazos abiertos, un jugo riquísimo y toda la información necesaria para planificar en pocos minutos nuestra visita en Viñales. Pero sin duda lo mejor de todo fue el que quisieran compartir con nosotros tiempo, invitándonos a ir con ellos a una excursión al Palmarito (¡una de las excursiones más divertidas que hemos hecho en nuestros 7 meses de viaje!). ¡Gracias Yoania y familia por vuestra calidez, ayuda y buenos momentos!
Our stay in Yoania's house was by far the best experience we had in our trip to Cuba! The room was perfectly clean and really beautiful with its own bath in perfect conditions. But what really made the difference was the warmness of Yoania and her family during our 3-day stay in Viñales. They welcomed us with a tasty fresh juice and all the information needed to plan our visit in Viñales. But the best thing of our stay with them was having the opportunity to share time with the whole family: they invited us to go on an walk to "El Palmarito" all together. It was one of the funniest trekkings we have made in our whole 7-month trips! Thanks Yoania and family for your warmness, help and good times together!

E' stato bello sentirsi a casa...quando la casa siete voi!
Yoania e la sua famiglia sono delle persone davvero speciali, di quelle che ti sorprendono, ti accolgono con un sorriso e rendono ancor piu' speciale il tuo viaggio.
La casa e' a pochi passi dal centro (5 minuti a piedi), in una via tranquilla e silenziosa con una splendida vista su tutta la valle.
La stanza e' spaziosa, ben organizzata, pulita e accogliente!
Dotata di condizionatore e bagno privato.
Vi consigliamo non solo di soggiornarvi ma anche di godervi gli ottimi pasti che Yoania sa preparare con tanto amore e premura.
In questo contesto non manchera' l'allegria del marito che sapra' allietarvi con la sua bella voce e la sua chitarra :-)!!!
(E'stato un attimo ritrovarsi a cantare un mix di canzoni cubane, italiane e rock seduti sulle sdraio fuori il terrazzo guardando la luna :-)!!!).
Percio' andate, andate e godetivi la cura e l'attenzione che questa famiglia sa riservarvi!

La famiglia è molto piacevole, persone veramente cordiali ed oneste, vi consigliamo vivamente di affidarvi a Jose anche per effettuare escursioni, in poco tempo (5 minuti) è in grado di trovarvi chiunque faccia al caso vostro a prezzi onesti.
La casa è molto confortevole e ben tenuta, la cucina è buna e abbondante consigliamo di cenare nell'abitazione almeno per una sera.
La posizione della casa è leggermente fuori, ma la cittadina è piccola e la via centrale si raggiunge in 4-5 minuti a piedi.
Dal terrazzino si può godere di un panorama bellissimo su due vallate di Vinales.
L'abitazione è realmente munita di posto auto, questo ci ha dato modo di conoscere meglio Josuè il più piccolo della famiglia, che amante delle auto non esiterà a lucidarla e chiedere se può salire a bordo (è stato veramente simpaticissimo).Veramente una bella famiglia in un posto fantastico.
